The one hundred sites in this guide are in all six New England States,
dating from the early 17th century to the threshold of our time and the
architectural styles reflect those popular over a period of four
centuries. The sites are varied and were the homes of leaders and
literati, merchants and millionaires, poets and Pilgrims, philosophers
and farmers, and seafarers and Shakers.

history.
